New
Leaks Fresh Water
- Once
a fresh leak has been discovered, notify Odor Masters
within 24 hours so an inspection can be performed
in order to identify all troubled spots.
- Since
it takes mold 7 to 10 days to incubate and grow it
is not always necessary to classify these situations
as emergencies.
Odor Masters will mark all areas that should be removed
in order to prevent mold growth.
- A
report will be furnished specifying our findings.
Old
Leaks Visible Mold
- Once
an old leak or visible mold has been discovered, notify
Odor Masters within 24 hours so an inspection can
be performed in order to identify all troubled spots.
- Although
there might be the presence of visible mold, unless
agitated there is usually no immediate health risk.
- Once
the inspection has been performed, a report will be
furnished explaining the correct procedure for removal.
- Odor
Masters is equipped and trained to handle the abatement
process.
- Since
we are dealing with visible mold there are situations
that might require relocating the occupant during
abatement.
- After
all work has been done, Odor Masters will recheck
moisture levels. If all readings are normal the residence
will be release for reinstallation.
It is not always necessary to take air samples because
regardless of the results, the abatement procedure remains
the same.
There are no definitive studies
showing what levels of mold are considered a health
risk, however, we do know that most molds are not harmful
until agitated and allowed to go airborne.
